Put them in a stand. Flashlight. Okay. The gentleman is not recognized. Colleagues. No, I’m gonna. The House will be in order. Like children waving ukrainian flags on the floor of the House.

They don’t study this. They don’t look at alternatives. They don’t say one word about diplomacy.
They know nothing. They don’t understand the consequences.
